A follow up to this: I have tried a pure qemu installed from packages: qemu-system-x86_64 \ -bios /usr/local/share/ovmf/ovmf.bin \ -no-shutdown \ -nodefaults -no-user-config \ -name Windows2016Pure -vnc 127.0.0.1:0,to=99 \ -display none -device VGA,vgamem_mb=16 \ -boot order=c \ -usb -usbdevice tablet -smp 2,maxcpus=2 \ -device rtl8139,id=nic0,netdev=net0,mac=00:16:3e:5d:0d:48 \ -netdev type=tap,id=net0,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no \ -machine pc -m 4080 \ -drive file=/dev/zvol/zroot/windows0,if=ide,index=0,media=disk,format=raw,cache=writeback and the boot process goes easily past the OVMF and continues booting, only to fail "Inaccessible boot device" Windows message much later (probably because I was using XenPV drivers there).
